Im pretty sure those are Soyos.
Maybe they just look longer than norma in that photo, or the handle bars are small or something. Mine dont quite come up that high, but pretty close.

they look like Soyo longs to me. but beware! they are fine with gloves, but damn those things are like sandpaper. Strongs and Champs are a lot softer.

I prefer Champ grips just for the fact that you can choose thickness from 1mm to 4mm.
And yeah like nateintokyo says, Soyo's are rough.

champs are softer than soyos, which is more of a tactile benefit than a cushy oury feel. i like the 2mm thickness, conveniently the one the colours come in. 4mm is much harder to mount on bars and not much 'softer', but i haven't tried the 1mm yet.
